Instead, we were treated to a delicious pair of tagines here, one chicken and preserved lemon, the other, grilled octopus and vegetables. We paired those with our first ever Moroccan red wine! Delicious! Dessert was an unusual take on the standard creme brulee. The custard was infused with pistachio, rendering it a beautiful pale green, hiding under the perfect burnt sugar crust!

Probably best meal i've ever had. I was speechless. I had…read morethe chorizo quesadilla and the pitcher marg. I'm in LOVE.

I was suspicious it would be good but it was really excellent. We ate lunch downstairs. Service…read morefast and friendly. Husband had the chicken and cheese burrito which came with sides and I had the Taco Salad. Amazing marinated chicken, all ingredients high quality and there was nothing left on our plates. Margarita seemed weak but husband felt it when he stood up. Perhaps not a freshly made mix for the drink? Only complaint. Would happily eat here again to have a taste of home (even better than home).

We came to Lyon for a couple of days to visit a friend. After a horrible day of delays and…read morecontinuous problems, we wanted a good meal. This restaurant came to us by surprise. We hadn't tried Indian food before. Just arriving there a nice mood could be breathed on the environment. The combos they have are real combos: 3-4 dishes plus desert and side dish... We definitely recommend the Tandoori Chicken, the Cheese Nan (Cheese Pancake), the Chicken Curry, the Plaow (Basmati Rice) and the Halwa (sweet sponge with vanilla cream) made our dinner the best we've had in some time. The staff (Indian and Asian, as the restaurant had a fusion of Asian and Indian food) were really kind, funny and smiley. The perfect English of the Indian gentleman serving us was very helpful.

Stopped by on a whim. Very pleased with service and of course the food. The flavors were…read moreexcellent with enough spice to enjoy yet the spice did not overpower the senses. The buttered chicken was super tender and the lamb cooked perfectly. Had papadum and Nan both were served warm and amount was excellent. If you're looking for some exotic flavors in a warm and welcoming environment give Le Karachi a try. I would definitely go again and sample other dishes.

After having Le Karachi recommended to me over and over by the locals, my husband and I finally had…read moredinner there this evening with some friends. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was nice. I ordered the Menu Végétarien, which included an appetizer, main course, choice of nan or rôti, and rice for 17€. I selected the pakora for my appetizer, the allou palak for my main course, and the nan as my bread. Along with the appetizer, I ordered a banane lassi which was tasty. It was not overly sweet and the banana tasted fresh. The pakora was very different than what I was used to. It was a single patty on a bed of salad greens, with a piece of tomato, some cucumber, shredded carrots, and a bit of cabbage. They brought the nan out with the appetizer as well, along with three choices of chutney: a yogurt-based sauce, a pepper jam, and some spicy pickled eggplant. I liked the pepper jam the best and spread it on the nan and the pakora. The allou palak was not very interesting. The spinach tasted overcooked, the potatoes were just boiled, and it wasn't spicy at all. My husband's palak paneer was a bit tastier but for some reason it was not an option on the vegetarian menu. (The other options were dal and a mixed vegetable dish.) For dessert, I ordered the framboisine which was my favorite part of the entire meal. It was strawberry sorbet, nougat ice cream, shaved coconut, strawberry sauce, and pistachios. I savored every bite. I might give this place a second shot but I wasn't that impressed with my first trip there. After the lassi and dessert, my bill came out to almost 30€ and I didn't think the food was worth that amount of money.
